you were the bright young thing till you took a little sting of victorian then it spread like a slick, made your frozen heart tick, so you p*ssed it on but i’m alright ma i’m alright ma so i kick around town see who’s up and who’s down

i hear you’re trapped again and you’re straight on the bends but you’d bend to be straight cos you’re your only friend

but i’m alright ma i’m alright ma i’m alright ma

turn on the tv, and what do you know? thank god, the new god, remote control

guess you had it sussed out cos you filled me in when i was young as s*m*n you say your world’s gone cold, i’m stood here breaking the mould i get this feeling. that i’m alright ma i’m alright ma i’m alright ma

dad swears and mum don’t care cos she knows no-one hears her when her eyes are closed did you get what you want is your television keeping you happy?

guess you had it sussed out cos you filled me in when i was young as s*m*n you say your world’s gone cold, i’m stood here breaking the mould i get this feeling. that i’m alright ma i’m alright ma i’m alright ma i’m alright ma
